Beyond The Mark: When Contact Leaves Scars: MUFON ERT Insights with John Street

What happens when an experiencer wakes up with unexplained burns, geometric impressions, or marks that no medical explanation can account for?
Tonight on Beyond the Map, MUFON Director and ERT specialist John Street takes us deep inside the physical evidence cases that most people never hear about.

John has worked hands-on with experiencers reporting:

• Circular burns that appear overnight
 • Geometric patterns seared into skin
 • Scoop marks, punctures, and non-healing impressions
 • Missing time associated with physical trauma
 • Emotional and psychological aftershocks that follow

In this conversation, John explains what MUFON’s ERT (Experiencer Resource Team) actually does, how these cases are investigated, and the patterns that have emerged across regions, demographics, and time periods. We explore:

• The difference between an ERT specialist and a field investigator
 • Why so many experiencers report the same shapes
• How investigators separate medical, psychological, and environmental causes
• The moment an experiencer first contacts MUFON
• Real physical trace cases John has personally worked
• The ethical and emotional burden investigators carry
• What might be behind these marks — and what remains truly unknown

This is one of the most grounded, compassionate, and eye-opening conversations we’ve ever hosted. If you’ve heard stories about “abduction marks” and dismissed them as fantasy, this episode asks you to take a second look — carefully, responsibly, and with an open mind.

Stay curious. Stay grounded.
